What is a DeFi aggregator?

A DeFi aggregator is a platform that routes your crypto swaps across hundreds of decentralised exchanges (DEXes) simultaneously to find the best rate and lowest slippage. Instead of trading on a single DEX like Uniswap, an aggregator like Steyble splits your trade across multiple pools and chains to maximise your output.

What is a crypto super app?

A crypto super app is a single non-custodial platform that combines every DeFi service — token swapping, staking, perpetuals trading, prediction markets, copy trading, cross-chain bridging, and crypto cards — in one interface. Steyble is a crypto super app, meaning you never need to switch between multiple DeFi applications.

Is Steyble self-custodial?

Yes. Steyble is entirely non-custodial and self-custodial. You hold your private keys at all times. Steyble provides the interface and smart contract routing, but never holds, controls, or has access to your assets. Every transaction requires your explicit wallet signature.

How do prediction markets work in crypto?

Crypto prediction markets let you buy or sell shares in the outcome of real-world events using on-chain smart contracts. If you buy a 'Yes' share at $0.35, you receive $1 if the event occurs (a $0.65 profit) or lose $0.35 if it does not. Markets cover crypto prices, elections, sports results, and macro events. Steyble's prediction markets are non-custodial — your funds remain in your wallet until settlement.

What are perpetual futures in crypto?

Perpetual futures (perps) are leveraged crypto trading contracts with no expiry date. Unlike traditional futures that expire monthly, perps let you hold long or short positions indefinitely. A periodic funding rate keeps the perp price aligned with spot. Steyble perpetuals run on decentralised smart contracts — you trade directly from your own wallet with full transparency into liquidation parameters.

How does copy trading work on Steyble?

Copy trading on Steyble automatically mirrors the on-chain trades of verified top-performing wallet strategies. You choose the wallets you want to copy, set your position sizing and risk limits, and Steyble replicates their trades in real time. Unlike centralised copy trading, Steyble is non-custodial — you never give up control of your funds.

What is the best way to earn passive income with crypto in 2026?

The best methods for passive crypto income in 2026 are: (1) liquid staking ETH or SOL at 3.5–8% APY, (2) lending stablecoins on lending protocols at 5–9% APY, (3) non-custodial copy trading to mirror proven wallet strategies, (4) providing liquidity to stablecoin pools at 3–6% APY, and (5) on-chain prediction markets for event-driven returns. Steyble provides access to all five methods in a single platform.

What is the best DEX aggregator in 2026?

The best DEX aggregators in 2026 route across 15+ blockchains and 100+ liquidity sources with MEV protection. Steyble's swap aggregator covers 250+ liquidity sources across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and more — consistently delivering better rates than going directly to any single DEX. For large swaps, using an aggregator saves 0.5–2% per transaction.

DeFi Yield Optimisers: How Yearn, Beefy, and Convex Work

Yield optimisers automatically find and compound the best DeFi yields. Here is how these protocols work and which to use.

DeFi yield optimisers (also called yield aggregators) automatically move your funds between protocols to maximise returns, compound rewards, and reduce the manual overhead of DeFi yield farming. Rather than manually harvesting rewards and reinvesting, you deposit once and the optimiser handles everything automatically.

How Yield Optimisers Work

Deposit: add USDC, ETH, or LP tokens to a vault
Strategy: smart contract deploys to one or more yield protocols (Aave, Curve, Convex)
Auto-harvest: vault automatically claims rewards at optimal frequency (when gas < reward value)
Auto-compound: claimed rewards converted and added back to position — compound growth
Fee: optimisers charge 15-20% of yield for the service — still better than manual management for most

Major Yield Optimisers

Yearn Finance: original yield aggregator, complex strategies, Ethereum-focused, $500M+ TVL
Beefy Finance: multi-chain, 500+ vaults across 20+ chains, simple deposit-and-forget UX
Convex Finance: specialised for Curve — maximises CRV/CVX yields for Curve LP providers
Pendle Finance: tokenise future yield — buy discounted yield upfront or sell future yield for immediate USDC
Steyble integrated vaults: same auto-compounding mechanics, integrated in your portfolio view

Choosing a Yield Optimiser

For Curve strategies: Convex is the best — it provides boosted CRV rewards that would otherwise require locking 4 years of CRV. For multi-chain general strategies: Beefy for breadth and simplicity. For Ethereum-focused sophisticated strategies: Yearn. For simplest onboarding: Steyble integrated vaults — same mechanics, no separate platform to navigate.
